FABULOUS PINK! This color is very subdued and works well with those dramatic looks that need a nice toned down lip to balance them out. I use this color all the time and even have a spare kept in my glove compartment box for emergencies. This color can work for just about anyone going anywhere - at work, on a date, at school. Fabulous for both winter and summer looks. The formulation is nice and creamy and has great lasting power - and unlike a lot of light colored glosses, when this finally does start to rub off it doesn't leave my lips looking the least bit gross, it just fades back into my natural lip color without much fuss.
I really like this color! It works for me both in the summer and winter months. Kind of a pinky, lightly shimmered neutral on me. Looks awesome in the summer for a low key look. This was my first lipglass and I have been quite pleased!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this gloss! its a perfect mauvey color especially on my PPP skin. It's incredibly long lasting and of course has that wonderful vanilla smell/taste, its also the first lipgloss where I actually have none left in the tube. ♥ LOVE LOVE LOVE ♥

I LOVE this.. it's because of this I've become hooked on MAC's lip glasses. The consistency isn't waxy, goopy, or sticky, and it lasts! The shade is very complimentary for all skin colors as well. I need more of this!
Not to mention the smell of it is reminds me of birthday cake!

I bought this after MAC´s make up artists applied on me at the store. It´s the perfect nude, goes with everything. BUT it DOES NOT LAST AT ALL. =/ You apply, then after about 20 minutes your mouth is completely dry!!!! I bought it because I thought it was a high quality product but it´s not. I dont recommend this to anyone. The color is great, yes. But I still prefer Victoria´s Secret gloss because they last on my lips for about 2 hours I think.
UPDATE: I learned to loooooooove this color and the staying power of this lipglass. The last time I tried it was really windy i guess and it was winter. Now I think the staying power is good actually. Again Victoria's secret IS better, no doubt, but I like this. Thank God I didnt give up on this. I really like the smell, the staying power, and the color goes with ANY LOOK you have on, any eyes, any blush u have... PERFECT nude!!! Love it, gonna buy more because soon it wont be available anymore.
Nice enough nude lipgloss.
On my bare highly pigmented lips, this is not opaque enough to give coverage. It just adds some shine.
However, this lipgloss is fabulous for layering over nude lipsticks and that's what i use it for.
Will probably not re-purchase since I discovered some equally fab drugstore nude lipglosses.

I'm working on tube number three of this lipglass. It's a universally flattering shade of rosy plummy brown laced with gold shimmer. It's one of the more wearable shades of lipglasses, in that it doesn't require a lipliner like some of the others. I use this as my everyday gloss. The formula is tacky but that's what makes for the incredible staying power. Normally, scented lip products bug me but the vanilla scent in this is not very noticeable. My only complaint: if I wear it repeatedly in one day it tends to make dry skin peel off my lips...bizarre but I deal with it.
I am on the fence with this one. I like how it looks when I first apply it but it turns a tad orange on me which is even more apparent in pictures.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a near-universally flattering color that is suitable for all occasions. If someone is looking to try a MAC lipglass for the first time, or looking for one as a gift, this would be a great choice. On my lips, it looks like what I wanted MAC Lust to look like.
This is a great neutral color that would be good on anyone. I have so many lip glosses that are as good as this one so I will not repurchase it as it was expensive. It was fun trying it and it is a great color and great quality. Update --I use this all the time LOVE IT and will be rebuying if it runs out. It goes with everything and has just the right amount of color and not too sparkley but still has just a bit. However- If the price is too high I would recommend Revlon super lustrous gloss which has the same great quality (#90 pearl plum is a great color).

Far Cry will go the rev 3 in 2012, Ubisoft announced it at E3. In the 3rd instalment there will be a new character introduced in what sounds like a similar storyline to the first game. Check out the embedded video above for an 8 minute walkthrough with Far Cry 3 producer Dan Hay.
When Far Cry was originally released back in 2003 it set a new benchmark for graphical quality on the PC, and scored high with critics and gamers alike. 2008?

Frank and Dr. Stein
Frank and Dr. Stein
October 30th, 11:49 midnight.
Dr. Stein lives in the old castle at the top of the hill, above the small town of Chaplin. The dark grey, dingy stone bricks line the castle from bottom to top, towers built to the sky, and a desolate yard brings the place down. Just looking at the castle gives the townspeople the creeps. One time, a photographer actually took a picture of the castle when lighting was flashing behind it. It is now the number one postcard to be bought by any tourists. Nobody visits the town for the food, they all want to see the castle. However, none of them personally visit because of the stories.
Dr. Stein is an interesting character, taking the pleasure in someones misfortune. He runs the town morgue and often times uses miscellaneous body parts for his scientific experiments, without the families consent or knowing. His hair is wild for a doctor, black like the night just like his eyes. The only time he is seen not to wear his signature gray doctor robe is when he is in bed or taking a shower. He is serious in his work and has fun in what he does. The town doesnt much understand his methods and they keep a fair distance away. To the citizens of Chaplin, anyone who lives in a dank castle is considered to be insane. Dr. Stein considers himself eccentric.
The surgery had lasted 7 hours prior to now. Finally, the brain was equipped into the head, the top was sewn back on and the was mess cleaned up. Shortly after, the creation was moved to the open lab room.
The forty foot tall tower holds the main lab and allows all the wires and gadgets to freely fill the space along the wall until it reaches the ceiling. The tower is round so naturally the room is round. Cauldrons line one side while beakers of mysterious liquids line the other. Tubes and jars and scientist equipment cover the room for all kinds of experiments. This is his serious room.
The creation is picked up with the help of a humped Raichu and placed on a long table. The wrists and ankles are strapped with leather and tightly wound. Dr. Stein walks over and turns a crank, forcing the table to move at an angle until the table is at a 45 degree incline from the floor.
Various nobs and suction cups are placed over the creation. Finally, the masterpiece is ready. The headset looks like a vegetable bowl but with wires, lights and colors flowing from the top. It is placed on the head and the wires connected to certain transmitters to a machine.
Eyegor, be ready at the top!
Rai Ria! Raichu boasts as it moves to a ladder system, dragging its paralyzed foot in studdering steps. The ladder steps snake its way around the around tower, level by level, until finally Raichu makes it to the ceiling. It presses on a latch and opens a portion and more steps. Raichu continues up and outside, now on the roof of the tower. Pressing a button, and another, a large disk appears and points to the dismal sky. Wires flow from it down into the lab and most likely to the creation.
Dr. Stein moves to his control desk where levers, buttons and switches live. Three dozen of each and all in various spots. Only he knows how to use it.
Flip! Boing! Press! Flip! Flip! Switch! Swish! Flip! Press! Press!
Eyegor, initiate the electricity! he speaks into a microphone which reaches the roof.
Raichu summons its power and sends it to the sky. The dark clouds gather in the dark sky and rain pours. Summoning more power, Raichu bolts the sky. A short while after that, lighting fires back, hitting Raichu and the disk.
The disk wire carries the current as fast as light can travel and immediately hits the computer which in turn carries it to the creation.
Yes. YES! Keep it up Raichu. the doctor maniacally shouts.
The creation glows brightly, tingling with energy. The headset bulbs light up different colors as the energy flows into it.
Press! Switch! Dr. Stein continues his game with the buttons.
It takes a good ten minutes later for the energy to stop flowing into the creation. If nothing happens after this, it was a waste of time.
YES!!! Work. I command you!
Raichu has arrived back to the floor and steps next to the creation, putting on one of the helmets. Its body lights yellow and zaps through the helmet, directly into the creation. The electric energy Raichu produces was absorbed from the sky during the storm for three times more effect. This direct approach is the last chance they have at becoming a success.
Dr. Stein looks on with intent, raising his hand as if raising the creation. Come.... COME!
The creations right hand jolts up and down quickly.
Dr. Stein flips out. Yah!. I did it! He proceeds to run around the room, ranting and raving. I have successfully combined the body of a Pokemon and a human brain. Im the new world genius in Pokemon science. WOOHOO!
October 31st, 2:11 in the morning
Everything is so fuzzy. I dont remember much, its so hard to think. Hey, I cant move my arms or legs. What is this room? Where am I?
Dr. Stein stops eating his slice of cake to see his creation has awaken for the first time. He runs over to get a closer look. Yes, YES! Now you are awake, MY creation. Even more news to celebrate, eh Eyegor? He runs back for more cake, Raichu happily eating by his side.
The creation looks around the room with its open eyes and notices the science equipment around the room.
What is all this equipment? No, I want out. Let me go.
The creation tries to speak but all it makes are grunts and noises.
Urr.. Urrrrrr... nnngg...
Dr. Stein becomes ecstatic. It made a noise. Even better. Eat up Eyegor, theres a lot of cake for us. The night is still young.
Raichu... ^.^;;
3:30 in the morning
Dr. Stein has been reviewing his notes and how the experiment went. He looks at charts, pie graphs and even his predictions before the test. For the past hour he has been writing a summary of the experiment and how it went word for word. He even put that he ran around the room raving like a lunatic. He wont leave anything out of his report, especially since he will make world news and change the fate of Pokemon and humans alike.
Who is this guy? Why am I still tied up? Why do I crave honey all of a sudden? I dont even like honey that much except occasionally on my toast. MMM... toast!
Now, for the moment of truth. Dr. Stein steps up to his creation to tell it what is going on. My name is Dr. Stein from the small town of Chaplin, which is actually where you are from.
His lips are moving but I dont understand it. Am I deaf? No, then I wouldnt be able to hear him. What are you saying? Get me out of here.
Ursa... Urrrrr.....
Hold on now, settle down.
URRRR!!! the creation flails around in the straps, trying to get out.
Now, now. Eyegor, administer the sedative.
Raichu prepares a needle and sticks it in the shoulder.
No, dont poke me with that. Ow. That..really......hurt. Oh, now I feel..... fine!
The creation calms down with a smile on its face.
The good doctor waits a few minutes then continues again. As I was saying, my name is Dr. Stein from the small town of Chaplin, which is where you lived before. Your brain is now in an Ursarings body. Through the miracles of science, I have managed to save your life. Your name is Frank Wilcox and you used to be the mail carrier for our town. Remember? You angered a Growlithe, accidental of course, and it mauled you to death. I happen to run the town morgue and needed a fresh brain for my experiment. Do you understand any of this?
What are you saying? I cant understand. I know you are Dr. Stein because thats what it says on your lab coat. But who are you exactly? Why can I read but not understand your voice?
You died yesterday so I took your brain and put it into the Ursarings body. Youre a living wonder. You should be proud to live again. He looks at Ursarings unmotivated body. Maybe I messed up somewhere in connecting nerves. If you hear me, say something.
Hmmm... maybe this isnt perfect like I had hoped. But its still a miracle of science and I will get my comeuppance. He moves over and unhooks the leather straps. Eyegor, lets get him over to the testing cage, while hes still under the sedative.
Rai Rai!
What? Im free. Finally.
Ursaring rubs his wrists from the pain. He looks around and at his body.
Man, I have gotten heavier and more hair. What happened to me? Wait, claws?? Where are my hands? Fur? This is not me. What have you done?
URSA!! Ursaring enrages to fury at discovering his body features.
Dr. Stein back off. Not enough sedative. Eyegor, calm it down.
Rai... CHU! The blast of electricity zaps Ursaring, flowing through its body. The brain flips inside-out and snaps. The memories flow... first day of school... first date... first car... yesterdays attack.
Such pain. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Ursaring panics from the overloaded brain and faints on the spot.
Thanks PE2K for all the memories.

Frank and Dr. Stein
4:40 in the morning
I remember everything. It feels so cold being in a different body. This... Pokemon body. Which one am I? Claws and fur arent very helpful. But I felt myself die yesterday. That attack... I cant even think about it. Dr. Stein, what have you done to me. Am I one of your creations now? A freak of nature just like your precious Raichu... or Eyegor or whatever you call it.
I dont know how long these tests have been going on but the drugs are nice. I hate these tests. Shock this, poke and prod that. I want out of here. But I cant show him I am strong or he will give me more shots, even though they are a pleasure. I will lay here and pretend Im still down then when he least expects it, WHAM!
Interesting, it appears your Pokemon portion has taken over your hearing and vocal capabilities. No wonder you couldnt respond to me.
Dr. Stein walks over to the table and takes off the suction cups reading brain activity. He turns to a machine and prints out the paper. Wow, your brain activity is quite high, especially for being sedated. He turns back around to see Ursaring standing tall, glaring over him. Stein freezes. Whoa, whoa there big fella. I may have underestimated....
Ursaring takes one big swipe with his claws and the doctor is down, motionless.
No... more... experiments.
Eyegor, the Raichu, steps into the tower when it hears the noise.
it says.
Ursa, ursaring?
What was that you said? I heard you talk
You killed my master.
Raichu drags forward to get close enough for an attack. Ursaring looks down at the body of Dr. Stein and sees a Pokeball has fallen out. Using his claws, he grabs it, enlarges the Pokeball and points it at Raichu.
The red light shoots out and sucks up Raichu.
5:15 in the morning
I have relocated around the castle to a bedroom. I have read all the doctors notes about my experiment. He calls me Frankenring combining my Pokemon body, Ursaring, with my real name Frank. Its a name that will suit me. But I should have died but maybe this is punishment. I dont know. I cant live like this. I cant stand it. What have I done to Doctor Stein. He could have reversed this.
7:30 in the morning
Good morning Ryan. Good morning Claudia.
Hey Danny. Did ya get those farm chores done?
Yep, bright and early. I cant miss that Halloween dare you guys promised me.
Danny is fourteen and works on a farm with his family; Mom, Dad, two older brothers and a younger sister. Everyday he gets up at six thirty to do his morning farm chores before school. Today being Sunday, there is no school but chores need to be done early so he can have the rest of the day to play.
Ryan is the same age and in the same class in school. He likes to play sports and explore the fields after the rains pass by. He wants to be a great Trainer some day but this small town need him because he is the best at baseball and the team is playing in the finals next week to determine whos the best in the county. Its a great honor for the small town of Chaplin to have and Ryan must fulfill his dream to be county champs and bring home a trophey.
Claudia is a nice girl, a little plump. She loves playing with the boys and hates the other girls. She thinks they are too goodie for themselves. Wherever Danny and Ryan go, she is sure to follow closely behind. She has a lot of influence on them since she is the only girl friend they have.
Today is Halloween so each of them have dressed up in a costume. Its only morning but they cant wait to show them off to each other. Plus, at noon is the Halloween Ho-Down in the Town Center. Claudia wears a pretty Butterfree outfit, wings on her back and antenna clips in her brown hair. Ryan has no shirt on and short purple shorts. He also wears small boxing gloves over his hands and has dyed his hair purple. Danny has on orange pants and shirt with a Charmander face mask on his head. The long orange tail sticks out behind.
Nice, better than that Caterpie outfit you had last year. Ryan jokes to Danny.
Claudia fights for him. I like Caterpie. They evolve into beautiful Butterfree like me. She poses.
Yea, what she said. What are you supposed to be?
Ryan proceeds to a boxing position. Cant you tell? Im a Tyrogue.
Danny jokes back. Maybe if you had muscles.
Claudia laughs.
Nah, youre just jealous.
Stepping inside the ranch house on Dannys farm, Danny takes off his tail and Charmander hat, Claudia takes off her wings and antenna while Ryan puts away his boxing gloves. So now they only have shirts and pants on, except Ryan without his shirt.
So when do I get this dare?
Right now. Come on. Claudia smiles and leads the way.
8:03 in the morning
I dont know about this. We promised never to come here for a dare. Remember?
Ryan edges, I know. But Claudia and I thought that if you did this you would never have to do another one again.
Come on Danny. Its only five minutes
The three young teens stand below the steeping walls of the Dr. Steins Castle. There is a musky odor in the air and the sky is gloomy grey. It doesnt help that the grass and trees are all dead and there is nothing living within 50 yards of the castle walls. But there they are, standing at one of the many side doors to this enormous castle.
Ok.... Danny studders. He isnt sure about going in. If I dont ever have to do another dare.
Claudia reassures him. Never again. We can promise that.
Danny grimaces. Ya, thats what we said about coming here before.
Danny, Ryan persuades, if you do this, youll be the envy of all the kids at school. Youll be known as The Castle Kid instead of Farm Boy Danny.
I said Ill go in.
Good. Ryan adds, And while youre in there, see if you can find one of his experiments.
Danny stops dead in his tracks. What? Experiments?
You never heard. Claudia sighs. All the other school kids know about the experiments.
Ryan interrupts. They are only rumors, remember. But if Danny goes in and sees them, then we have proof and he will be famous. The Castle Kid will be known as a hero.
I just love a hero. She flashes her eyes.
Danny blushes from Claudia. Ok. Five minutes, got that.
The door closes with a creak, echoing down the long stone hall. Light fixtures on the walls give some idea of where to go but it is still darker than night inside. Slowly, one step in front of the other, Danny inches inward. His heart pounds and sweat starts. His whole body is shaking with each movement and when an odd wind is felt, he freezes feeling like cold death is upon him.
He imagines what would happen if he was caught. Probably thrown in a sub basement prison and kept as an experiment. He doesnt want that. The door is still behind him and he can easily run out. As long as he stays near the exit, he knows he is safe.
On his left comes a wooden door. He pops the metal latch and opens it. Inside are jars of heads, organs and other embalming fluids. He stares at the yellow liquids with tissue in them and almost heaves all over the stone floor. The door is slammed and he backs off, feeling queasy inside.
Only three minutes left. His body is numb and his stomach is ready to give up his breakfast but he holds it back. He comes to a door on the right side. It creaks loudly and Danny steps inside the room.
The room is large like a master bedroom would be except there is no furniture; instead, hay and straw line across the floor. But maybe it isnt a room because the left wall curves to show a new area. There is only one window with bars that lets the light stream at the door. The rest of the room is as dark as the hallway.
He turns left with the wall to find a dead end with a most peculiar inhabitant. There, in a pile of hay and accompanied by the smell of rotten flesh, is a sitting Ursaring holding a limp body hanging in its arms. Right away, Danny recognizes it to be the body of mailman because he is wearing the uniform. He also notices the scars and stitches on the Pokemons head indicating it had some operation done to it.
Oh my... The smell of a corpse and the sight of death causes Danny to hurl his stomach to the ground. He falls kneeling to the floor, feeling weak all the sudden.
Hey Danny, its me. Frank. I deliver your mail to you every lunch hour at your farm. I watched you in the stage play last year.
But all Danny could hear was the aggressive grunts from Ursaring as it points its claw at him. Danny steps up and wipes his mouth, starting to cry. He slowly backs off, nearly frozen of fright.
No, wait.
Thats when he realizes the situation. He is holding his own dead body.
No, you dont understand.
The Ursaring pushes the body to the side and he stands up.
This action only upsets Danny to think he is next to be killed. His pace quickens as he backs to the other side of the hay lined room.
Thanks PE2K for all the memories.

Frank and Dr. Stein
Its past five minutes. Do you think he was caught?
Claudia shudders and holds Ryans arm. I hope not.
AHHHHHH!!!! the faint shriek comes from inside the castle.
Ryan and Claudia clasp to each other, each shaking in fear. Not waiting to see what happened, they run.
AHHHHHH!!!! Danny shrieks, feeling threatened by the overbearing Ursaring.
The Ursaring animal instinct takes over. He must protect his well-being.
I cant let you leave.
Ursaring swipes down at Danny but the kid ducks and heads for the door. Ursaring grips the ground with his claws and dashes to the door. It shuts but that wont stop him. His claw goes through the door and shaves Dannys shirt on the other side. Danny is caught on the wrong side of the hallway and flees further inside the castle.
Ursaring slashes the door to pieces.
Get back here.
Danny opens another door but finds it is filled with more jars of liquid. He almost chucks once more but only spits. He grabs a jar and throws it at Ursaring.
The large bear slashes at the jar and the thick liquid covers his body. Ursaring is thrown off and collides into the open door, knocking down more jars over him. In this time, Danny steps around and back down the hallway. The exit is creaked open, sunlight pours in and Danny is free.
12:00 Noon
Maybe that kid wont say anything. Its ok. Im fine. He wont report me as a murderer. They will surely kill me if thats what they thought. Oh how I wish I hadnt attacked Doctor Stein. He could explain everything. I cant die again. The pain would be too much to handle.
Frankenring watches from one of the towers and sees a mob headed for the main gate entrance. Some of them have torches with fire while others have pitchforks in hand. The whole town seems to have shown up to tear down the castle.
Doctor Stein. Open your castle doors. the leader in front shouts out. He is Sheriff Chadsworth and Claudia is her daughter. He has a dirty t-shirt on and long pants with a gun on one side and a Pokeball on the other. His strong attitude handles the entire town by himself and hes very professional about it.
Oh no. They have come for me. I must get out of here.
Open your doors now!"
But nothing happens.
Chadsworth calls his Pokeball to the ground and a flaming Charizard storms out. Break the gate down.
The large Charizard batters at the door in two hits and smashes through. This is when Chadsworth loses control of the mob and they storm the castle.
Thats when they find Dr. Stein on the floor in the main tower lab. He has been lying there the whole time, scraps and bruises. To the nurses amazement, he is still alive but has lost a lot of energy.
The greatest creation to the world. Stein mutters in his delirium.
A stretcher comes in and carries the doctor away.
Within time, Chadsworth regains order and everyone leaves the house. No Ursaring and no body were found through their search.
3:14 afternoon
Sheriff Chadsworth has been waiting outside the Chaplin Nursery for Dr. Stein to heal. The injuries werent life threatening, it only caused him to black out. Now, he is ready to be seen by the sheriff.
There he lay on the bed, like a helpless man. Sheriff. Am I in trouble? He slowly speaks.
You have some explaining to do.
Wheres Eyegor?
Your mutated Raichu is safe. Dont worry about it. Chadsworth didnt like Dr. Stein much but so far he hadnt done anything illegal. Explain to me what is going on.
What do you mean?
I mean a boy comes to me, crying and shaking like hed seen death. An Ursaring and a dead body in your castle. The townspeople went a little overboard about it but it needed to be dealt with. Then we find neither of them in your castle and you on the ground nearly dead.
Doctor Stein jumps up in his bed. My experment. Missing? The body too. What about my research. You have it, right?
I dont know...
Stein falls back down. My hard work is gone. Gone. GONE! Now I have nothing. My fame is dying in the backyard of society.
Chadsworth has had enough of this lunatic. He steps up to leave but stops when he feels something pulling his sleeve.
Its Dr. Stein and he uses a calm voice. You remember Frank Wilcox, died yesterday. Well, I used his brain and put it inside an Ursarings body. It attacked me last night when I was doing research on it. The body you mention must be Franks old body. I dont know why that would be missing. Unless.... it knows more about itself now. NO! My wonderful creation is evolving and Im missing it. Why did I send Eyegor away to take a break. Why, oh why.
Youre absolutely nuts, Doctor. That monster will need to be put to sleep, permanently.
Stein grovels at his feet. No. I can help it. Please!! Just return my Frankenring to me. Pretty please!.
Frankenring? Chadsworth rolls his eyes at the though of it having a name. Ill do what I can but I cant promise anything.
6:34 Early Night
Hes a bad Pokemon. Killed a human.
Yes, bad.
Doesnt deserve to live among us.
Yes, bad.
Shut up. Leave me alone you pests. I didnt kill him.
Ursaring growls and shows his claws at the mocking Pokemon, forcing them to run away. He then proceeds to pat the recently dug ground with a shovel.
The search party has been looking through the surrounding forest since the mob left the castle. Nothing has been found so far... until.
I see something over here. Its big.
Sheriff Chadsworth is led over to an area in the forest. There, an Ursaring, a shovel and freshly dug earth lay. The Ursaring is currently sleeping so the people are trying to stay quiet.
Hes hiding the evidence by burying the body, a women mentions.
Chadsworth calls his men over. Get the tranquilizers.
Ursaring moves and stretches, opening one eye then closing it. Realizing people are here, he wakes up, jumps to his clawed feet and snarls.
No, they found me. I knew I shouldnt have taken that nap.
Shoot it already.
The gunman with the tranquilizer is loaded up and fires. However, Ursaring bends back and dodges the drug loaded missile.
I didnt know I could dodge like that.
Ursaring leaps to the gun and tears it apart in one swipe.
If thats how Frankenring or whatever it is wants to play. Charizard, flame on.
The large Charizard pops out, shooting flames to the sky.
Youre going down, freak!
Thats right, Im a Pokemon.
Franks mind moves over as his Ursaring instinct takes over again.
Charizard bursts the fire line and nails Urasring in the stomach.
Oh man, that hurts like when I burnt my hand on the stove.
Ursaring regains and dashes to Charizard with sharp claws in waiting.
The claws have no chance to hit the flying Charizard and Ursaring is engulfed by flames once more. With his weak body and state of mind, Ursaring is almost out of energy.
I cant lose. I dont want to go back. They cant get me. I have the energy.
Ursaring looks through the trees at the partial moon trying to show itself. His stomach circle glows and he feels an energy fumbling in his mouth.
Charizard prepares the fire attack but stops to see Ursaring trying something. The bear opens his mouth and pours a beam of light into the sky, aimed for Charizard. He has performed Hyper Beam.
Yes, take that.
Unfortunately, it misses. Charizard sighs and fires the flamethrower attack. Ursaring burns like an oven and collapses to the ground.
This sucks.
Great job Charizard, as always.
Chadsworth takes out the prepared Pokeball and tosses it at the mutant. With a wiggle-waggle, Frankenring is caught.
No more experiments. Chadsworth forces into Dr. Stein.
Yes, yes. No more experiments like this. You know how to ruin my fun.
Frankenring is back on the table, strapped in and head set on.
Dr. Stein writes on a piece of paper and shows it to his creation.
I am sorry to do this but I need to start over with your brain. Too many human qualities came out and you werent ready. It was my fault and Im sorry for the pain you must feel. Dont worry, you wont remember anything that happened.
The lights blaze, the energy is flowing, and Eyegor is ready. The direct electricity is poured into the helmet and Ursaring feels the charge.
Here I am, dying again. The pain is all too familiar.
Thanks PE2K for all the memories.

I would like to know how to nuclear bomb proof my recipes. They will be one of the pillars of a new brewing civilization in a post apocalyptic world.
I may not be an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express........ 6 months ago.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/denn...9/#post1766281http://groups.homebrewtalk.com/Tapro...ook_Repository
Digital media does not exist until it's in more than one place.
External backup drives for me, plus one over at a friend's place. If my place gets burned down or broken into, I'm still covered.
My recipes are safely backed up... I post *every one* in this forum before I brew it and update the thread after it's brewed.
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
I keep the vast majority of my stuff (including Beersmith) on a Linux server at home running Samba so any of my Windows PCs can access it. I periodically backup the server with tar to an external drive.
I figure most things I say or do will be held in high regard by a new civilaization.

You and I would never be so lucky
He's a lucky man Heath Scotland, the Carlton footballer.
We are all supposedly equal before the law. Perhaps not if you are an AFL footballer.
Heath Scotland was in Court yesterday after a nasty pub brawl up at Mulwala in New South Wales. He could have been jailed for up to five years.
He wasn't. He got a two-year bond. No conviction.
Three other men involved in the brawl had been fined and convicted. Not Heath, despite a bad history.
But the thing that really grates here is that the Magistrate even used his AFL career as a reason for the lenient decision.
According to the Herald Sun, the Magistrate Tony Murray said Scotland could be fined by Carlton and suspended and that a conviction may stop him flying overseas with the team.
Well, so bloody what?
Any person convicted of anything has implications in their workplace. If I was convicted of high-level drunk driving I'd probably lose my job.
But if I was guilty, I should be convicted. Heath Scotland was not. And the Magistrate as good as said it was because he is an AFL player.
But what is worse, Heath Scotland has been in court before. It was widely reported, and I have the file from Channel Nine and the Herald Sun.
He was in Court for slapping a woman in a nightclub toilet after being charged back in 2006, six years ago, for recklessly causing injury and unlawful assault.
Again then, no conviction recorded.
He paid $3000 to Beyond Blue, wrote to Police apologising and went on a diversion program – worked well!
In that case, the Magistrate said he had been provoked. But he slapped a woman.
He's a lucky man, Heath Scotland. Two Magistrates being generous to him, to cases of violence, no conviction.
And you know the other theme through this. Not only is he an AFL player. In both cases, he has said he wants to be a fire fighter, and a conviction could end that.
Well, if he keeps going like this, the fire brigade won't want him.
He's a very, very lucky man. You and I would never be so lucky.
Scotland given good behaviour bond
SCOT FREE: Six years after being told by a Magistrate that he would 'only get this opportunity once', Carlton footballer Heath Scotland has escaped conviction to an assault charge after pleading that his firefighting career ambitions would be derailed.
Blog comments
Magistrates and Judges spend their early careers as court lawyers, rubbing shoulders, if not being actual mates, with lawyers like Bernie Balmer, pictured above, who was Scotland's mouthpiece in court.
There's a culture of understanding between these law professionals. Scotland's non conviction demonstrates the culture of the bar is alive and well in Victoria.Rumpole Thursday 11 October, 2012 - 9:09 AM
he didn't get convicted cause the other guy king hit him first that's what the judge said butthe media only wants to report what they want heath did not king hit the judge said so media stop reporting that he didbill Wednesday 10 October, 2012 - 2:11 PM
Its not fair. AFL players get away with everything. How many times have they been accused of rape etc and how many times have they gone to jail?Ric Flair Wednesday 10 October, 2012 - 10:54 AM
This man is a thug, he bashed someone and slapped a woman. What a complete joke the system is, for once I agree with Neil, the MFB should not want him anywhere near them, and yes, didn't that diversion program just work a treat! What hypocrisy that the other men involved were convicted...should have been footy players! What is the matter with this country, it disgusts me that the football have their own judiciary system there is no hope for the human species. One can only hope that perhaps next time he bashes one of the judges' relatives and that might give them some realistic perspective!Wendy Wednesday 10 October, 2012 - 10:32 AM
The Magistrate also considered Scotland's community work. And the reason these types do "community work"? So as their mouthpiece can regale the court with the altruistic,selfless work ethic of their community minded client and then and only then if the beak is gullible enough to tumble in to this ubiquitious pocket pi--ing exercise we then end up with another insult to the collective intellect of the unwashed plebs out here in, we can only hope land.Hope that we come up in front of the same wet pocketed fool when or if we transgress.jgl Melb Wednesday 10 October, 2012 - 10:22 AM

First Pitch: Sunday, June 16
Beltran continues hit streak
Published: Jun 16, 2013
» Get updates via Sportsmail
3 Up
1. Carlos Beltran, OF, Cardinals. Beltran continued his 14-game hitting streak with a 3-for-6, two-homer effort against the Marlins. He's hitting .365-4-12 in June.
2. Jason Marquis, SP, Padres. Marquis improved to 9-2 with 6.2 innings of three-run ball against the Diamondbacks. Marquis has dealt three straight quality starts -- all wins -- for the Padres.
3. Mike Carp, 1B/OF, Red Sox. Carp hit another home run, his fifth in his last 10 games, for Boston. The lefthander is hitting .400 with 12 RBIs in June.
3 Down
1. Mark Teixeira, 1B, Yankees. Teixeira aggravated his right wrist injury and left in the fourth inning in a loss to the Angels. He's in New York for further testing, which is never a good sign.
2. Scott Kazmir, SP, Indians. The goodwill Kazmir built with owners is gone. He allowed five earned runs on four hits and four walks in 2.2 innings against the Nationals. He's 0-2 with a 7.98 ERA in his last three starts.
3. Russell Martin, C, Pirates. It's about missed opportunities here. Martin went 0-for-4 and left seven on base against the Dodgers. He's hitting .195-1-7 in June.
Start 'Em
-Matt Wieters is 13-for-34 (.382) with four extra-base hits in his career against Jon Lester.
-Justin Morneau (8-for-22, four extra-base hits) and Josh Willingham (6-for-20, two homers) both have good career numbers against Doug Fister.
-Cody Ross is 5-for-8 with a pair of doubles lifetime against Clayton Richard.
-Daily leaguers can dig deep for Yunel Escobar today. He's 8-for-21 (.381) in his career against Wade Davis.
Sit 'Em
-Dexter Fowler, who's recently missed time because of a sore finger, is just 3-for-17 (.176) in his career against Cole Hamels. Teammate Michael Cuddyer (0-for-10) has been even worse.
-Michael Saunders (1-for-11), Kendrys Morales (1-for-11) and Kyle Seager (2-for-12) are hitting a combined .118 against Bartolo Colon.
-Dan Uggla is 0-for-13 lifetime against Tim Lincecum. Freddie Freeman is also hitless in 11 career at-bats against Lincecum, but he's established himself as a must-start player as long as he's in the Braves' lineup.
-Garrett Jones (3-for-17) and Pedro Alvarez (1-for-12) are hitting a combined .138 against Zack Greinke.
Call to the 'Pen
San Francisco's Sergio Romo blew a save and took a loss against the Braves. He allowed two runs (one earned) in 0.1 innings. It's just Romo's third blown save of the season, but keep an eye on how he reacts. ... Vinnie Pestano took a loss for Cleveland. It's the first earned run he's allowed in June.
Weather Watch
It's going to be a rainy day around the league, according to wunderground.com. At least five games have a chance to be affected by showers, including LAD-PIT (60 percent chance of precipitation), WAS-CLE (57), MIL-CIN (51), BOS-BAL (50) and CHC-NYM (39).

Supply Chains Facing Atypical Demand: Optimal Operational Policies And Benefits Under Information Sharing
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Management of supply chains facing atypical demand settings is challenging. Demand during events such as promotional sale, seasonal sale and or short life cycle product introduction is notoriously uncertain and therefore very difficult to predict. Demands arising from such events are called atypical demand. However, these events bring huge financial opportunity to the supply chain players. In industries such as fashion, toys, and high-tech electronics, time-to-market and product turnover are vital; product has very short life and is sold in brief and well-defined selling seasons (Christopher 2004, Johnson 2001). Demand faced by such industries are extremely volatile and seasonal in nature, and highly unpredictable (Wong et al 2005).

Getting Pregnant
Labor and Delivery
Baby and Beyond
Today is CD5 and I am starting my 6th IUI cycle this month. I hung out for a while back in Feb/March when we did our 5th IUI. It was our first injectable cycle and we got pregnant, but I miscarried at 11w5d due to a blighted ovum.
We are headed to the RE today to have our baseline u/s and get my script for femara. I will be doing femara cd5-9 and follistim starting cd10. I am very nervous about this b/c I am starting at a new RE and I'm worried that this month will be a total bust. At our previous RE I did a cycle of just femara CD 4-8 and had a HUGE follie at my first u/s on cd11. That cycle ended in BFN. I wish my RE had started me on the femara earlier in my cycle, but I'm trying pretty hard to just trust her.
I'm excited to get to know all you ladies and have some TTC support again!

Corbin 3/25/11 - after 6 IUIs!

Hey Caitlin!
Great to hear from you! Sooo very sorry to hear about your m/c I understand how hard it is.
I really REALLY hope that things work out this time 'round for you with the new RE! it sounds like you have a good game plan going so hopefully things are going to end in a BFP for you
~ Tacie's Space ~ TTC #1 since Jan 01, 2006
I hope that your new RE puts you on Progesterone after the IUI too! Is that an option? I know the last IUI you had Progesterone... Just curious!
I'll be here to cheer you both on!!!
Hey Caitlin!
I just wanted to wish you luck and tell you that yes, we of course will be here for you honey!
It sounds like you have a good plan and please keep us posted! I will have my eye on you girl!
Hang in there and GOOD LUCK!
Hi Caitlin! I've missed seeing you around and I'm sending you all of the baby dust I can muster. I truly hope things work out for you with your new RE...you totally deserve it.
My TTC Space
Hi Caitlin, I am wishing you the best of luck and lots of positive thoughts. I am using something similar to femara as well.
Hey ladies! Thanks so much for the warm welcome and best wishes!
My appt went great yesterday and I started the femara last night. In the past I have only taken 2.5mg but they started me on 5mg this time. I don't know if this is more likely to give me more follicles or if I'm just going to have one really humongous follicle I didn't see the dr yesterday, just the nurse. She wasn't sure if my dr would want me on the progesterone or not. I told her I had some leftover and that I tend to have a thin lining. She said they will have me do a progesterone check at 7-8dpiui but if I'm on the progesterone they won't need me to have that checked. I go back for my first mid-cycle u/s on Monday and my dr will do all the u/s's from then on. I'll definitely be asking her b/c my BFP cycle was our first month on the progesterone also.
I'm excited that there are a couple of us starting femara

Pop star Justin Bieber is reportedly romancing both singer Katherine Gazda and model Chantel Jeffries.
Bieber, 19, and Gazda, 18, were introduced at the end of 2013 by mutual friend Blake Kelly and the latter has confessed to her friends that she wants to have his children, reports mirror.co.uk.
"They hit it off straight away and are both really serious about one another. But their relationship has been very up and down because she can't stand the way he has been behaving recently. She is desperately trying to help him through all the scandal and regain his clean-cut image," said a source.
"Underneath all the bravado and controversy, Katherine believes he's a lovely kid with a real heart, she just thinks he is being led astray," the source added.
But the big stumbling block is Bieber's relationship with Jeffries, who was with him on the night he was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
His family fears that 20-year-old Jeffries, who has a criminal record, is a bad influence, while Gazda simply wants him to stay away from her.

A review of Alex Gibney's "Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown," airing on HBO on Monday, October 27.
"The Fisher King" is a disorganized, rambling and eccentric movie that contains some moments of truth, some moments of humor, and many moments of digression. The filmmakers are nothing if not generous; we get urban grit, show-biz angst, two love affairs, the holy grail, the homeless, an action sequence, a dance sequence, and an apocalyptic figure on a horse who rides through Central Park with flames shooting from his head. Even with such excess, at 137 minutes the movie shows signs of having been pruned of some of its quiet spots - or did they intend to have all those scenes, back to back, in which people shout at each other? The film stars Jeff Bridges as Jack, a radio talk show host whose unbalanced listener goes on a shooting spree, apparently following Jack's advice. Jack is devastated and quits his job and drops out into a long, alcoholic reverie, only to be redeemed by Parry (Robin Williams), a homeless man who is convinced the holy grail is in the possession of a Manhattan billionaire, and that together they can find it.
The screenplay, by Richard LaGravenese, seems to have been constructed like an airliner, with fail-safe redundancy. There are not only two heroes in need of redemption, but two heroines in need of love: Jack's long-suffering partner Anne (Mercedes Ruehl), and Parry's dream-woman Lydia (Amanda Plummer). And there are not only real-life problems for them to conquer, but also the supernatural possibilities of the grail, the ghost horseman, and Parry's haunting visions. Plus a section in which one of the characters disappears into a coma, and another in which the title is explained in a monologue as long as it is unedifying.
"The Fisher King" is so charming it's hard to say when we notice it has no clothes. Individual sequences are bittersweet and moving, some of William's inventions are funny, there is no denying the originality and force of the Ruehl performance - and yet there comes a time when we cannot sustain one more manic outburst, one more flight of fancy, one more arbitrary twist of plot, one more revelation that the movie tricked us into caring about subjects it eventually throws away.
There is a way in which a movie like this, which allows fantasy to be real, has to play fair with the audience. Take the matter of the holy grail. We wonder at first if it really does still exist, there in that billionaire's mansion (the Fifth Avenue Armory). Later we wonder if it matters. Later we wonder if it was a real cup, or only an idea, that the characters were seeking. Later we wonder if it made any difference if they found it.
I mentioned that some of Robin Williams' moments are funny.
They are. But he is also present at some of the movie's low points, in which a rush of verbal cleverness is allowed for its own sake, and the movie suffers. More than any other good actor now at work, Williams needs strong guidelines to reach his best performances.
Perhaps he should start avoiding roles that are "made for Robin Williams," as this one is. He's best playing against type - against his own improvisational personality. When he does, as in the better scenes of "Dead Poets Society" or all of "Awakenings," he is a master actor. When he is indulged, as he is here, he overflows.
Jeff Bridges is as dependable an actor as there is. His problem in this plot is that it takes him on too wild a journey. His own story in the movie - sardonic radio talker sinks into depression after blaming himself for deaths - suggests that he will be redeemed, and a homeless person is a reasonable instrument for his recovery.
But then he doesn't merely recover, he goes along for a manic flight through whimsy and invention, through slapstick and romance, through suspense and deathbed comebacks and Chinese dinners, until he finds himself in the position of the little old lady who had really rather not have been helped to cross the street.
Ruehl, with a deep voice and decolletage, is the most reasonable presence in the movie, a woman who loves even when it is not convenient, but can be pushed only so far. Plummer, as a hapless and incompetent waif who attracts the love and sympathy of the Williams character, is given an idea to play, not a person - and not a very good idea. The movie's double-date scene, recycled from many other movies and embarrassing here, suggests that Plummer's character was added simply because director Terry Gilliam and LaGravenese didn't want to leave out anything.

At least nine nations are believed to have nuclear weapons: the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, Pakistan, India, North Korea and Israel. Other nations may have nuclear weapons or are working towards them, most notably Iran. At the height of the Cold War in 1985, there were believed to be 65,000 nuclear weapons in the world. As a result of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and unilateral decisions by some countries, this number has been reduced to about 20,000.
